As we begin this journey it is very important that each of us follows specific rules and guidelines to insure the safety of everyone. The Internet can be a wonderful learning environment, but we need to take certain precautions to insure safety at all times.
Students using this wiki are expected to act safely by refraining from posting any personal information. No student may include any information or images on the site that could compromise the safety of himself/herself or other wiki members. This would include not posting your family name (last name), home and email address, password, phone/cell number, password and any other information that might help a person locate you or contact you in person. If someone asks you for personal information you immediately inform your teacher. No personal images will be posted.
This wiki is considered an extension of your classroom so any speech that is inappropriate in school is also inappropriate to use on this wiki. The expectation is that you conduct yourself in a respectful manner. Remember, wikis are public so don't write anything that you would not want others to read.
It is important that your post reflects the assignment. The wiki should not be used to discuss personal information such as your plans for the weekend.
The teachers will make every reasonable effort to monitor conduct on this wiki in order to maintain a positive learning community. All students will respect the teacher's time and professionalism by supporting the same positive approach. To make sure that there are no infractions of the rules Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Corrieri, will be reading your posts and reserve the right to delete any posts that they deem inappropriate.
